TRE NEED OF BTATISTICH. Grand Master Sherman, in his report to the Grand Lodge at the last session, made reference to the tao much neflected subject of baving o ourate financial information upon whick to base inteltigent legislation, as follows : This Grand Lodge owes toitself a solemn daty, and ome which should ns longer bo deferred. It is con- ceded that upon the proper management of the finan- ces depends the prosperity, nsy, the very existence, of the Order. How can we legislute intelligently npon a subject upon which we know so litle? We aro sup- posed to know the *‘ revcnus " of the subordinates, but whether this is groes or net income, and what items enter in to form this so-called revenne we know nothing. We are totally iguorant of the resonrces of our subordinates or their aasets. No ono can estimate, €ven proximately, the amount of produotive capital or of non-productive capital. We are now -youug and rapidis increasing ; our initistes are mostly men in e preme of life, 'We have never attained our averaga death or sicx rate. and sball not for many years to come. We ought now to be accumulating and_ invest- ing in productive capital funds upon which womay draw in tho vears to come, I ia proved by stutistics gathered by tho Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, that in the older Lodges tho sick rats {6 about four fimes that found in the younger fodges. This whole subject of finance needs to be subjected o the thoughzful serutiny of our ablest and clearest thinkers ; we shouid avall ourseives of the in- formation being obtained by sister jurisdictions and by the GrandLodge of the United States, sud naw forms and sdditions! Llanks should be provided which wall give this Grand Body complete and aocarate mowl- edge of the exzet financial a2stus of every subordinate, e are both & lifo-nsurance and a bealth-insurance socicty, wich an immense_ capital inveated and Lieavy obiigations to meet. Did any good business man or companyever embark in such an enterprise and prosecute 1t without subjecting Lo tho closest scru- tiny tho fucts and figures upon which his sckieme was (%ased 7 It is idle to say we havo thus far been suc. coesful, and therefore need not troublo ourselves shout ibe future. The perpetuity and usefulness of our Order dopands maiuly upon placing ourselves early upon s sound, rational, intelligent, finsncial basis, considering not alone this year or » decade, but the coming centuries, since we belisve our Order destinod 10 be a permanent institution. To the subject I invite your ccim, considerate, thonghtful attontion, and recommend wise and judiclous action. - Tho subjoct was referred to the Logislative Committee, who made the followingreport, which was adopted. The matter 15 one of great in- terest and onglt to engage the sttention of the | thoughtful members of the fraternity, Your Legislative Commitice, t0 whom was referred }mmman of the Grand Master's report relatiug to . the Ainances of subordinate lodges, having considered the subject, would beg leave to report : That the subject is one of very grave {mportance, and worthy of the careful consideration of this Grand “Lodge. T0o many of our Lodges arc each year ex- pending all, or nearly al, of their catire recelpts in “enefits, cltarities, and current expenses, forgetting or iguoting the fact that, as their members sdvance in Years, the claims upon the Lodgo treasuries must nec- esaarily inczesse, and finally result in the bankruptcy and death of the Lodge, Your Committes are of the opfufon that if a true and detatled exhibit could bs made of the exact fnan- cial condltion of each Lodge,—its annuai revenues and expenditures for all purposes, its net assets and how invested,—such information would be highly valusbla 10 the Lodges, and would enable this Grand Lodge to adopt such legilation 55 to bring fnancial teength t0,and insare the perpertuity of, our Subordinats Lodges, We therefore ofer the following : Resolved, That the L. VV. Grand Secretary rected to propare and forward to each Subordinat 8 1 part of the annual roturns, blanks with appropri- ato headings for obtaining information on the follow- ing points, to wit: Nimber of weeks' siciness reported to Lodge (whether benefits were paid for ssme or not). ‘Amount received for initistns, membershi Amount recelved for interest A i e S el i Total receipts f0r the FRIr... semeeeoconseurocans Sl by A&agflh p‘.\:idufcr ‘benefits, funeral axpmul.‘ Amount paid for lodge.farnit ‘Amount paid for all othor expenses... ‘Total disbursements.

Resolved, That there be s Speclil Committea on Statistica appomted by the Grand Master, consisting of threo memyers, whose duty shall be to propare a compilation of theso reports, and present the same at the next session of this Grand Lodge, with such rec- ommendutions as they may deem requisite. 1In sccordance with the foregoing, the Grand Becretary has prepared proper blanks for use in making the annual report8 i Jaouacy.

SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT. The New Feature in Banking Origie nated by tho INinois Trust and Savings Bank. There bas alwaya been a lack of bank facilities for the accommodation of & pumerous class of people who drsire to have at their residences or about their persons some convenient mesus for paying small bills and current expeuees general- 1y, withont the risk of keeping money on hand exposed to loss by theft or otherwise. A regular checking bank account does not an- swer the purposs, a8 the suma to be drawn are asually so small that any congiderable number of such checks would be considered s nuisance to a first-class commercial bank; nor does an ordi- nary saviogs account supply the want for reason of the inconvenience of being compelled to send the book to the bank each time money is waate ‘Thers is & bank organized in London for ac- commodating this class of business. It has been quite successful, but the dotail and red tape in- cident to the maurer of ita organization, while ‘x may suit Englishmen, would not answer the femands of & busy, sctive population like that of Chicago. The [ilinois Trust and Savings Bank has re- cently organized a simple and convenient system which appears well adaptad to meet the want. It consists iu issning Cortificates of Deposit payable to tho order of the depositar, on de- mand. The certificates are issued singly or in con- venient book form in amounts of €10 and up- ward, 88 may be desired, and are the obligations of the bank and not the individual. The bank being well known &8 conservative and strong, such certificates for sums of 10, 315, 820, 850. or for larger soms that can be readily cashed anywhere, caonot fail to become popular and a eat source of convenience fo its city patrons. f:l the country, also, where farmers and cthera are withont even tha msual baoking facilities, this system must meet with general approval. —_— George Eltot’s New Storys Mr. Smalley writes: *George Eliot's new novel is to be a story of English life, entitled ¢ Daniel Deronda.” Mesars.

They drove the pig » short distance from the house ard attempted to place bim in a wagon that wag standing by the roadside. Failing in their attompt, they went back to the house and begged Jr. Lerch to go with them and load the pig ioto the wagon; that it was too heavy for them: that they had driven him a long distance, and that he refused to proceed any further. Mr. Lerch at once consented, the pig was joaded, Mr. Lerch went back to the house, and the next morning found that it was his own pig that he had taken & hand in loading on the wagon.

C. Clarke, Faq., Manager of London Assurance Corporaion—DEAR 818 : In answer to your letter of the 2ist, I forward to you s statoment of the miles of water pipe laid in Chicago and New York respectirely during the lsat two working seasons, together with tabls showing the wnXm;:m of pipo in each city, a8 accurataly as ! the fignres can bo ascertained at this date Caicago. | SEw Yomx. | Total taken y) rosat taigi vrdab}ndou,-’ rotallaia el ed” Fes rom Diameters. | 1, Tzteto) April LAt Ao e Dee. 7, 185 18, Tat5. o Dec. 9, 375. 1 Totals....| 385,69 &4 467 8747 Total faer'se o % E{';Ir of pipe.....| BoL173 e or &7 miles land 1,32 foet ‘A oxanthiation of these tables will show that Chi- cago has pursued the policy of abandoning as rapidly 2a practicable thoe very smail pips which was Iaid years ;gv'l:lnfld that during the two years named Chicago s NEARLY FOUR TIMFS AS MUCH PIPE AS NEW YOKK, notwithatanding the asertion of the representative of cerlatn foreign insurance componies, that * Chi- cago bas made comparatively no improvement in her fire-fghting resources since the great fire o dem- onatrate the falsity of that assertlon, it 18 only noc- essary to call atiention to the mean diameter of pipe id April 1, 1873, which wes T.81 inches, and to the mean diameter now, which is 8.61 inchea ; and ta in- form you thst since April I, 1672, tho delivering gapacliy of Chicago's water pipes had boen increasod per cent Itis proper to remind you that the smaller-eized ‘pipesin Chicago are much mora efclent than those in New York for tha reason that they ara connected at every atreet-crossing. In New York there isnot a general system of inter-connection, To fllustrate tho beneft of the Chicagn systum ; A firo brenking out on Sixtecnth strect, on Twenticth street, or on Clark streot. wonld not be exclusivly de- pendent for extinguishment on tho 6nch or 8-inch pipe on either of thesa streets. If it were, 50 large 2 number of engines might be stationed on tho ltoe of such a pipe 85 would possibly exhaust its sup- Ply, or at least render it comparatively inefcient, Whon theso pipes bave the direct support, at each cor- ner, of every intersecting pipe, larga or small it is clesr that their utility must be greatly increased over what it would be without so frequent coanections, T may be sad that when theso pipes are connocted with large mains, they nesd no reinforcement; that a & or G-inch pipo could give but little sdditional volume, and tast engines and hose could carry water from the next street corner. But it mast be romembered that one line of 4-inch pipe is more efficient in delivering water than three lines of 23-inch hoss, and that one line of 6-inch pipa will de- User more than aix lines of 2)-tnch hose. The New York plan was adopted when hand-engines were used exclusively, and, therefore, when thers waa not tho danger of 80 taxing the resources of small pipes as to exbaust them, Tle Chicago plan providea supplying steam-engines. Yoo will sce, regally. that sn $iuch pipe on Clark stroet, even though conmected st Har- Tidon street with a 12-inch pipe, at Twelfth street with 3 12-inch,and at Eighteootl atreet with a 24-inch main, is, Tevertheless, more eficient when supported by eack intersecting pipe at every strect-croasing, THE EXHIBIT OF PIPES LAID IN NEW YORK in 1634-"75 shows how abeurd was tho statement made by the Committes of Rastern Underwriters to the Cit- izens’ Association of Chicago, that New York laid no ripes smaller in dismeter than 13 inches. Of tho 5,747 feot lald in New York thesa \wo years 3,344 foel were 4dnch, and 30,40 feot were 6-inch, neatly 50 per cent of 'the ‘woole quantity being &-inch and less size. Your at- tention 15 ospecially called to this, not to defend the use of small pipes to the extent to which thoy wera employed in this city years g0, but to sbow that the sbandonment of small pipes for mere purposes of de~ livery to dwellings on streets that are ded by largs pipes, sufliciont for fire purposes, is impractica- ble, uncalied for, snd fs ot resarted to in New York or in any other city in the world. Obuerve, also, that on Nov, 12, 1875, New York had 412 miles and 3,870 feet of water-pipes, of which 235 miles and 786 feet ‘Wore 6 inches, and 5 miles and 4,939 feet ware 4 inches in diameter! It should be remembered that a large portion of the 43-inch pipo in usa in New York, and included in averaging the diameter of the water-pipes of that city, lies betwean tho two reservoirs, and {s the means of connecting them. Tnis, therefore, should not ba con- @iderod in estimating the mean dlameter of water- pipes in New York, any more than our tanzel, 7 feet in diameter and 20,500 feet in length, which runs under the city, connocting the new lake tunnel with the new pumping-worka, should be included io making an es- timato of the mean dismeter of pipes laid in this city. Indeed, our tunnel has more substantial claims to b included in such an esiimate, sinco it is available for ‘emergencies, having 17 water-shatts for fire purposes, from which twice the number of engines in New York and Chicago could be supplied at once. You will not nnderstand, I trust, that the object of presenting theso comparisons is toshow that New York is negligent in te wori of snlarging her water-supply. The citizens of Chicago bave no disposition to dia- parage the efforta or underestimats the resources of that city. Butaince the objections to Chicago fnsurauce- fiska come mainly from gentiemen who contond that New York risks are eafe, ond uince that city is asserted to be the best-protected againat fire of the metropoli- tan cities, it scemed fairer to compars Chicago’s out- Iay, policy, snd resources with hers than those of analler and less secure communitiea. 1f you will glanceat s map of Chicago, especially one deaigned for insnranca purposes, baving * dsuger- ous-district " boundaries, you will ‘seo that in laying pipes during 1874-'5 it hus been the policy of the Board of Public Works to afford protection to the lumber districts, and to AUGMENT THE WATER SUPFLY in those inflammable sections which form the con- necting links botween the southwest and the busi- Tness centre, The 36-inch main fs the great artery of s circuit around the most_{mportant part of the city, running from tho new West Side pumping works. Oz the nartheast portion of this circuit aro the present pump- ing works, with four engines; at the sonthwest por- tion, which iathe terminus of the pew lake tunnel, the new_pumping works are under construction, and most_of the machinery for thelr two enginea is on the ground. When these aro completed, the total puwping capacity of both works will be 104,000,000 United States in tweaty-four hours. The 4-inch main rung from Wabssh avenue on Eighteenth street to Canalport avenuo; on Canalport avenue to Twenty-socond strest ; on Twenty-second to Throop street,where it connects with s 36-inch main, and which runs from Throop sireet to Ashland ave- nue; north on Ashlund avenueto Harrison streat, where it connects with 3 2-inch maln which rans north to Divislon strest. These maios connect srith nearly all of the cross-pipes of smaller gizes, and have a very liberal supply of large double-nozzle hy- drants slong their line. The 16-inch, 12-inch, and B-inch pipes also serve to previousiy_exisiting, being can- the smaller and lurger pipes at esch crosdog. They aro frequently tapped by Lydrants. ‘A 12-inch pipe has been laid on Third avenue, {rom Jackaon to Tourteenth streat, thence it runs to Dear- born street, snd thenco_to Eighteenth street, whera it connects with a 24-inch main; being aleo connected with a 12-Inch pipaon Harrisan street, and a 12-inch pipg on Twelfth street, The district thus fortifled was one of the most dangerous in tho clty.
